Is this the right place to voice suggestions?

What do you guys say about a list of stargates, maybe right below the system name. Right where the mission information/list currently also resides. There'd also be a "jump" button next to each gate.

I'd presume this would make travelling from system to system more enjoyable than always right clicking, selecting stargates, finding the gate, selecting it and finding the jump button.

Anyone?

Overview? What?

Who put the goat in there?

I did a lot of right-clicking to get around when I was new, too. It's terribly inefficient. Set up your overview correctly so you can simply click the stargate, then click the jump button. Works for other objects in space, too. EVE Uni has an Overview guide you can Google up, also has links to many overview packs.

CCP has no sense of humour.

Yeah I already know about that but I'd still prefer 1-click solution. I actually use the jump-key + click but it's still not perfect.

So you're not actually right-clicking like your OP claims? What kind of trolling is this?

Overview is fine, no need to take up more screen real estate with redundant controls.

CCP has no sense of humour.

I always click my right wrong and must then right my click. Please fix this broken.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

the current overview is pretty crappy, especially the problem that you can only have one window open at a time

it is also taking WAAAAAY to much space for some information

i wish we had functionality to make our own UI elements :(

Right click -> Stargates. Alternatively, you can just set a destination and jump using route plotter thingy.

Oh god.

Read the post thank you before commend.

now the answer no there is no "quik view" perhaps starmap is so far the only way to see links.

Yes this is exactly what I was trying to explain, thanks for visualizing it :)
And sorry about "lying" in the OP, but that's the only way to do it if you haven't fiddled with your overview and noobs rarely have. I was thinking from the perspective of a new player. And how to make the much used features more accessible.
